The ferry crossing from Calais was smooth and we kept Shannon and Daniel amused with games of Rummikub. The views of Dover as we approached were magnificent, with a clear blue sky and the brilliant white of the cliffs. Crossing the busy English Channel was another new experience with so many large ships visible in the area and the ferries cris-crossing the traffic flow.
The crossing itself flew past quickly and before we realised it we were back in England at Dover. Shannon's first comment, during the short shuttle trip to the railway station, was 'I can read the road signs again and they're driving on the wrong side of the road!'
We had decided we would stay in Baden Powell House, Kensington (Scout Hostel) for the next two nights but were unable to phone ahead to make a booking (having the telephone numbers would have helped but directory services couldn't provide it. BP house is not listed under that name. Rather under the hotel management company that runs the hostel). So we took a train and headed to London in the hope rooms would be available. Thankfully at 10pm there were.
